The Hobbit Hole XXV - Fare you well! Fare you well!
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 10/15/2005 7:13:08 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Fare you well! Fare you well!

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

I've lost track.

An aloe plant, a toaster, a pawnshop, the name "Guido" and what else??

Hey got a question. What's a super-highpowered organophosphate, the nastiest one you know? I need it for the assassination scene.

You're going to kill with an OP?

Parathion comes to mind for some reason but I don't know if it's the nastiest.

I need a nice organic chemical, comercially available, that is powdered. Needs to be a neurotoxin that's toxic when ingested. The story is set in the future, so the fictional chemical can be a future variant of a modern compound.

Hehehe....EPA is trying to phase out OP's. Doubt there'll be any future variants.

In the United States, perhaps. But it's a big world.

Are you thinking of another class of compounds that could do the job? Cyanide and arsenic are a bit cliche, I think.

Got a few words down this morning. A blank page can be pretty intimidating.

*sigh*

That's what I'm facing now. Just got home. Did a little minor plotting at work (you know, I guess I shoulda done that a month ago or so...), but that's all.

We shall see what we shall see.

Does it have to be a ninja llama?

It could be a stealth ninja llama - no who read your story would even guess it's a ninja, but we'd know...

I hear ya! Was going to write this morning. I faced The Blank Page and got down a hundred or so words before starting breakfast. At werk, I got in another hundred-ish. I'm sittin' here at 227 at dinner time.
